Back in October 2012 I grabbed a map and my wallet and visited some of the local artists that were participating in the Sunshine Coast Art Crawl. The art crawl is an annual three day event that allows visitors access to artists and studios along the coast from Langdale to Lund including some that are not always open to the public.
One of the places I stopped at in Roberts Creek was Creek Clayworks. In a cute little workshop in the woods.
The potters behind Creek Clayworks are Elaine Futterman and Mike Allegretti. Their work contains no lead and is dishwasher, microwave and oven safe. I knew I was in trouble the minute I saw all the blues and greens. I was good I didn't buy anything. Not during the Art Crawl anyway.
Pretty blues:
Cool greens:
Not yet glazed:
Elaine Futterman at work:
You can buy from the studio year round, and I think you can sometimes find them at the Sechelt Farmer's Market on Saturdays from April to September.
You know how I said I was good and didn't buy anything during the Art Crawl in October? That didn't last. Can you guess which piece I bought as a Christmas present to myself during their Annual Creek Clayworks Christmas Sale back in December?
